solarwise 5.8 kw battery. Any Good?

Featured Replies

Good day to all.

 

Came across this in my final search for a battery.

Does anybody own one, and is it any good?

Goes for about the same price as a UP5000 from pylontech. But 1kw more, and a display.solarwise.png.998d8692775f10a83ff03cc98afb745c.png

Yip most of the sa suppliers simply rebrand chineseum batteriess as their own.

The display is exactly the same as LBSA batteries, it's actually part of the Seplos BMS LCD display

The whole case shape looks like a Hubble including the vent holes at the bottom. Different paint job and a display and higher capacity than the Hubble.
Do they provide any more technical specs, i.e. chemistry?

Would like to see the datasheet

Not exactly confidence inspiring when you cant even find a proper datasheet . This is the specs i could find on batteryfix's website.

Description

Mode                            :   PL-12048

Output voltage             :   48Vdc

Rated capacity             :   120

Max charge Voltage    :  54Vdc

Equilized  Voltage        : 52 Vdc

Low  Cut off                 : 42

Recommended Charge Current  : 30A   {Default}

Max Charge Current   :70A

Max Discharge  Current : 120

 

  • 7 Year Warranty
  • Parallel up to 6 Units
  • 12-15 Year Battery Life
  • Wall Mountable for easy Installation
  • Able to communicate with most leading Inverter Brands

Also consider after sales support, and a range of compatiable batteries?

Sooner or later you are going to want to add capacity and will need to buy more of them, if they are no longer in the market or even if they are, will future models be compatiable?

This is always a potential problem, but I expect that the larger manufacturers / suppliers are able to consider this with their products and ranges and also test them to ensure backward compatiability at least within reason? for example one can use the pylontech Us2000/US3000/US5000 together from what I understand provided the newest battery is the master? And compatiability info is available.

Also potentially parts, like replacement / compatiable BMS units, as these too can sometimes fail. Here pylontech seems to have a large global & local market share and so one would hope to find parts and services to repair without too much difficulty. Also Hubble, BSL BuLL seem to e quite popular, as many folks are looking for a 1c spec battery, and not .5c?

The concern is that most battery warrarties offered will possibly outlive the manufacturer / Supplier, so this also something to weight up?

Good luck with your choice.

If you are looking for something like this, best get Hubble. Do not waste your hard earned cash on unknown stuff unless you are looking to be a pioneer 😁

I'm back. Was away for 2 days and the cellphone screen does not work for me.

Thanks for all the help. Could not find much info either.

Still looks the Pylontech eventually. But now I see we get a UP5000 and a US5000. Looks the same......

 

The US5000 seems to be a higher spec, for charge and discharge rate, as well as expected lifespan, and higher cycles. 

Only problem is they dont seem to be available in za just yet?
